The Trinity
There is but one God existing in three Persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that these three are co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4; Mt. 28:19, 20; 2 Cor. 13:14; Jn. 6:27; Rom. 1:7; Jn. 1:1-3,14; Acts 5:3,4).
GOD, THE FATHER
He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father of all who have come to a saving knowledge of His only Begotten Son (Jn. 1:14; 20:17; Rom. 8:15-17).
GOD, THE SON
He is the Lord Jesus Christ. He was incarnated by means of the virgin birth (Isa. 7:14; Mt. 1:18-25). He is fully God and fully man (Jn. 8:58, 14: 7-9; Mk. 2:5-7; Lk. 2:52; Mt. 4:2; Jn. 19:28; Jn. 4:6). He lived a sinless perfect life (Heb. 4:15; I Pet. 2:22; 1 Jn. 3:5; 2 Cor. 5:2 1). He was crucified on the cross for the sins of all men, was buried, and rose again bodily on the third day (1 Cor. 15:1-4). He ascended to heaven and is now at the right hand of God as our Great High Priest, Intercessor, and Advocate (Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25; 1 Jn. 2:1).
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT
He is a Person not a force or an influence (.Jn. 14:26; I Cor.12:11; Eph. 4:30). He convicts the unbelievers of sin, righteousness and judgment (Jn. 16:8-11). He regenerates (Jn. 3:6), seals (Eph. 1:13, 14), indwells (Rom. 8:9), and baptizes into the Body of Christ (I Car. 12:13) all true believers at the moment of salvation. He teaches (Jn. 14:26, I .Jn. 2:20, 27), guides (Gal. 5:16-18), empowers (Zech. 4:6; Acts 1:8), helps (Rom. 8:26, 27) and fills (Eph. 5:18) the believers subsequent to their salvation.

Creation
God spoke into existence the entire universe (Gen. 1:1-2:3; Jn. 1:1-3),
and He upholds all things in the universe by the Word of his power (Heb. 1:3).
Creation testifies day and night (24/7) to the Existence and Glory of God – Ps. 19:1-6
Psa 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Psa 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
Psa 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Psa 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psa 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Psa 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Man
- Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but because of the disobedience of Adam, the entire human race was plunged into sin and death (Gen. 1:26, 27; 2:7-3:24; Rom. 5:12, 6:23).
- All men inherit a sinful nature and are totally depraved (Ps. 51:5; Rom. 5:18, 19).
- All men are condemned who reject Christ as Saviour and will endure eternal punishment in the lake of fire (Jn. 3:18, 19; Rev. 20:14,15).
